Ashley Young has reached out to the Manchester United fan who prophecised the details of the team's win against Paris St. Germain on Wednesday.

United knocked out the French champions with a last-minute penalty from Marcus Rashford.

The dramatic finale came after Romelu Lukaku had struck twice in the first half to put United within a single goal of turning around the 2-0 defeat they suffered to PSG three weeks ago.

The United fan, tweeting ahead of the second leg in Paris, predicted the scorers, the result and the timing of the winning goal, and players from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team have responded with amazement at the accuracy of the call.

The tweet said: "Honestly got a good feeling about this. Probably either we get totally hammered or we really put on a show. Lukaku with 2. Psg [sic] comes back with 1 and rashford [sic] fires home 92mins into injury time!"

Diogo Dalot replied with three shocked emojis, while Victor Lindelof replied: "Man, you should predict every game."

Now Young, United's captain in Paris, has waded in with his own message, saying: "Please tell me you put that bet on..."

He continued: "As a well done I’m gonna send you a signed shirt ! But, if you predict the score correctly this Sunday....I’ll get the whole squad to sign it...What do you reckon ?! Deal ?!"

@TimmyChin replied, saying he predicts a big 4-2 win for United at the Emirates.

United will pull four points clear of the Gunners if they can win at the Emirates on Sunday, and have already put one over on their old rivals from North London this season with a 3-1 win in the FA Cup fourth round.

If the Red Devils lose, however, they will drop out of the top four with just eight games to play.
